AI Does Not Change Who Is Responsible: the Signing Attorney Verifies Every Citation — Judge Groger (Pasco)

Judge Gregory G. Groger's practice requirements address AI without imposing any disclosure or certification duty. They remind attorneys of their existing ethical obligations and place responsibility for verifying every citation on the signing attorney — which is what Rule 2.515(d)(2) already requires. This provision is consistent with the statewide standard, not preempted by it.
